Dammit Tommy. I was already crying earlier, but I thought I had pulled myself together. Think I'll go drink some whiskey and cry some more.

I’ll keep saying what I’ve always said when Dolly comes up: Dolly is god.

I'm an east Tennessee woman myself but a city girl (johnson city tn). I personally am pretty sure Dolly hung the moon.
